"...lots of dialogues are in Maharashtrian"

Overheard at Sathyam when watching Kaminey


...we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.

    raj,in the light of kaminey, any further anti-bollywoodism will not be tolerated in the comments section of this post. Independence day-kaaga national integration post podalaamnu pArthA vuda maattEngreengaLE.

    Reg. comment simplification, I think it is as simple as google allows it to be. I can only make it tighter !

    BNB, I bet there is someone in the devanEyap pAvANar lineage out there today, who will stoutly submit an etymological claim originating from 'aaPPiL'.

Have blog, will archive. What follows is from a clutch of posts written at various points in time about ThillAnA MohanAmbAL - in my opinion, one of the most thoroughly enjoyable films with a distinctly homegrown aesthetic. Due to the nature of the post, you can expect all kinds of unevenness and abruptness, which the content shall hopefully compel you to bear with.  Plunge..

This post is to bid to elucidate the roots of admiration that explain the etymological roots of this blog John Wayne said ' In all my films, I have played John Wayne. And I have done rather well, haven't I ?" On the other hand, Oscar Wilde most famously said " I put my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works ". Two contrasting schools. But what happens when the artist in question is genius personified ? If the previous paragraph sounded sophomoric, well you guessed right. It was the gist of the opening paragraph of a piece I tried writing when in college, titled : " Of Wayne, Goundamani and Wilde ". The intended recipient was "The Hindu" of indhula-sandhula fame. The paper had published an article the previous week hailing a then hot comedian which was a tad too effusive in praise for my taste.
